Maundy Thursday

Scripture
2 Corinthians 5:21
For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

Observation
An offering for sin. What a huge price for sin ~ the wages of sin is death. But through His death we are able to be right with God. Things set right in our relationship. Amazing.
Right with God. Jesus WHO NEVER SINNED gave His life for me. How incredibly sad, and wonderful.

Application
Maundy Thursday. Jesus is about to face the cross. The consequences of my sin - Jesus gave His life as an offering. I am so sorry. Filled with sorrow. And I am so grateful. Me, who always sins, is made right with God. Jesus, who never sinned, was separated from God. I'm so grateful - and so sorry. I'm thankful that everything is turning out to be okay. But what about for those who don't yet know Jesus? Or have rejected His free gift of salvation. Things are not okay - I need to let them know, by any means, that Jesus loves them so much. Oh, that people might know the Love of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for giving Your life for me. And thank you for extending your great grace to my family, that we all would be saved. And thank you for working in my life today. I'm grateful for the relationship I enjoy with you, but I know that you have given me the ministry of reconciliation. May I be about the ministry you have given me.
Thank you Jesus for this day. May I love people today.
"A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another"
